Victim blaming and the notion that certain clothing or actions can ‘invite’ sexual assault are still far too common in today's society, and now, one video has set out to prove how women really feel about the shocking idea that a rape victim can ever really have been ‘asking for it’.

A group of women between the ages of 18 and 50 were asked to respond to the controversial phrase in the latest installment of Cut.com's One Word series. Previous videos have covered single words such 'abortion' and 'marriage', however, the clips have recently expanded to include more controversial sayings.

While this series often sees varying reactions from its participants, the She Was Asking For It installment is unique in the fact that, regardless of their answers, the women all seem to strongly agree that the phrase should never be used because no one woman is ever 'asking for it'.

The clip begins with 18-year-old Lindsay explaining how the phrase makes her feel 'robbed'.

'That just makes me mad,' she continues. 'It doesn't matter what that person was doing. Nobody asks to be taken advantage of. No one asks for something like that to be taken from them.'

While rape and sexual assault are never specifically mentioned, Anna, 20, notes that 'when the phrase comes up, you think of rape and that is never the case'.

'Stupid,' 21-year-old Grace adds. 'It's an act committed on somebody in a non-consenual way and that's what that act means, so no one really asks for it.'

'That whole concept is stupid,' she adds. 'Nobody is actually asking for anything.'

The video is the newest in the series that is frequently shared on Cut.com's YouTube channel. In recent months the video makers, have asked men from five to 50 to respond to the phrase 'Be a Man' and asked women between the ages of 15 and 50 about the word abortion.
